Phases of the Moon-

   the searchlight model had been proposed, rather than the "it's magical, and crescent everywhere", it crystallised my ideas on to how it ought to work.

At the dark of the moon, a pulse of light rises up from the Crater, igniting a glowing spot at the under pole. This spreads up the face of the moon, covering the entire visible disk. Three and a half days later, a spot of darkness appears on the underside, and spreads similarly.

  ve just finished listening to the second part of the new Radio 4 series about the Romans in Britain; the story of this reluctantly Romanised island could be plundered for the Lunars in Sartar

The obvious outcome of the Lunars as Commies model (or, Ronald Wilson Agrathssaga)-

It's Argrath White Bull, ex-cowboy, who starts by freeing Pavis, and gets carried along with momentum to drive the occupiers out of Sartar. Acclaimed king, he hears tales of an Empire long ago and no so far away. Inspired, he requires his wise men to develop Dragon Wars technology so he can outlaw the Evil Empire.

Meanwhile, a new Mask of Moonson is trying to tackle the inherent economic contradictions of his empire, and cannot manage that and at the same time match what he fears Argrath's men will develop. The fringes of the empire secede; and even in the Heartlands which still answer to Glamour's sway, while there is some continuity of power, the Red Cult falls in prestige and influence.
